Will Supra be getting the gen 3 B58?

[Axix23]

No it isn’t, let’s be real. The Supra, with all things being equal, is not faster than an m2. (With the exception of extremely skilled drivers on smaller road courses) The M2 performs a bit better all around, as it should, being a full fledged M car with all that M sauce. B58 does sound a bit better though.

okay, you keep thinking that. Imagine a zf8 speed vs the m2

Ive seen many supras beat an m2 and these new m2 dont look to be performing as good as the previous generation

I mean the driver must be super bad to keep losing over and over in the video…. The Z wasn’t even in the race. Lol

The driver/owner of the M2 shared some additional thoughts here on the SCL vid:

Wowza! Some good noise in this thread now.

So full transparency, I'm not the greatest manual driver. But, I'm also not terrible. Above average, but I'm not going to the track every weekend.

That being said the first time Sam drove it down he couldn't find a sliver of fraction and was spinning well into third.

IMO, the largest issue isn't the car, it's the surface. But, again not a pro, just some dude who buys cars and shares my experiences with fellow hobbyists.

It's an unmaintained, loose, and wavy surface. Couple that with a driver not well trained in launching their car on said surface with a fairly large audience behind them.
Lots of wheel-hop on my side of the track, and every time I changed gears I would just spin until 4th, so I had to back off and it shows on the video.

In the video and off video in test runs, I tried MDM launch ( IMO worst, TC was just bogging down everything... it was bad)
TC was left in 4, and tried at 6 dumping @ 1800.
The car lost the tire lottery and is running Pirelli's, and had H&R Super sport lowering springs for a G80 equipped. These springs may have negatively affected the traction at launch. I offered to switch out at one point and let someone else drive. We all agreed it wasn't happening regardless of who was driving. You can only put some much stress on a car too before something breaks trying to dial things in on a non-prepped surface.

All that being said, the driver of the supra is a beast. He can drive, and is a regular at track days. The Supra is 3-400lbs lighter, very similar power, it's hard to believe it would win, right?

I'm happy to chalk it up as inexperience, at the end of the day I had a blast. G87 fanboys, feel free to use me as your scapegoat.

Being an owner of the 370z and the GTR even i agree to this, the new Z's engine was a huge disappointment for me. I didnt mind the body it does look nice in person.

Really? Haven't driven the new Z but I would have guessed the chassis and suspension would be the disappointment.
